3x06 Bounty Hunter

God. Ray, baby, I love you a whole lot.

The ending. I think the ending *broke* me. It's not even that sad, it's just Fraser looks so, so lonely, particularly after Bob and Fraser's conversation about lonliness, where it's so obvious that Fraser really is terrified he'll end up lonely the rest of his days, and then Ray is *there*, being exactly what Fraser needs right then. The way Ray just...Look, it's not like it's a whole big thing, but Ray just picks up on Fraser's mood, and the way he says, "it'll be alright", in this really, really lovely, concerned voice, coupled with the hand on Fraser's back is just exactly the kind of understated *love* that was necessary for the end of the episode.

And yeah, I don't care, call it friendship, call it big epic romance, Ray loves Fraser. I'm not even sure he's aware of it at that point (Fraser is certainly aware of the strength of his friendship with Ray, though I don't think he knows how much he needs Ray yet), but it's *there*. Right there, in the end of the episode.



And I'm not creating a timeline of Ray/Fraser. I'm really not.

I'm also not turning lattara's drabble request into a big, long, sappy story with femslashy undertones. Because that would be weird.

I mean. I'm hardly in fandom any more. *shifty eyes*

Of course you're not, darling. You'd never do a thing like that.

*grins and makes gimme-hands*

You can have the first part, which was supposed to be your drabble ;) And would you mind maybe betaing it, when/if I ever finish it?

*pets the you*

[lattara.livejournal.com]

I would never, ever mind betaing for you, my darling. But if the drabble is part of a longer piece, I'd rather wait until I have all of it. Context = good.

*pets you back*

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Context may just make it sappier, in this case. But I get that, and will try to finish it sometime this year ;)

[lattara.livejournal.com]

No need to rush, dear. Sometime this millennium is alright. *grins*

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Sof, could I persuade you to read through what I have so far and tell me if it's actually something, and not just a huge, big pillar of sugar-sap. Without a plot.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Of course! But in about 1 hour I'm leaving for the weekend for a place without an internet connection, so it might not be before *after* the weekend. Is that alright with you?

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

That's absolutely fine. *hugs* Have a nice time, babe.

Thank you!
